CURE FOR KNOCK KNEES
I HAD RECIEVED MANY QUESTIONS REGARDING HOW TO CURE KNOCK KNEES .THESE FOLLOWING EXERCISE MAY HELP YOU TO OVERCOME KNOCK KNEES PROBLEM .
Knock knees are also referred to as genu valgum. This condition is indicated by the lower legs positioned inward at an ankle that causes the ankles to be separated and the knees to touch. Knock knees are often diagnosed in early childhood. Knock knees are generally not treated unless the condition becomes severe. Exercises can help strengthen the knees and encourage proper walking form.
SINGLE LEG RAISES
Single leg raises can help to strengthen the knee and its surrounding muscles. Single leg raises can also help to encourage the straight forward positioning of the lower leg. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet positioned flat on the floor and facing forward. Extend one of your legs completely. Tighten your thigh muscles and slowly raise your straight leg off of the ground until your leg is about one foot off of the floor. Hold this position for five seconds. Slowly lower your leg to the floor and repeat. Complete one set of 10 repetitions for each leg.
KNEE EXTENSIONS WITH RESISTANCE BANDS
This exercise can help to strengthen the knee as well as improve range of motion in your knee. Sit on a stool and tie one end of a resistance band to the back leg of the stool. Tie the other end of the resistance band around your ankle. Sit with your back straight and your knees bent so that your thighs are positioned parallel to the floor. Slowly straighten your knee out as far as possible by tightening your thigh muscles. Hold this position for a few seconds and then lower your leg back to the starting position. Relax and repeat 10 times. Tie the resistance band to the opposite stool leg and your opposite ankle and repeat an additional 10 times.
LUNGES
Lunges can help to strengthen your knees and encourage proper positioning of your lower legs. Stand with your back straight and your feet shoulder-width apart. Take one large step forward with your right leg. Your foot should be flat on the floor and your knee bent at a 90-degree angle. Your left leg should be slightly bent with your toes and the ball of your foot on the ground. Hold this position for a few seconds. Relax and repeat 10 times. Repeat another 10 times with your left leg in front.
HEEL RAISES
Heel raises can help to strengthen your lower leg and promote the proper alignment of your knees and ankles. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart flat on the ground. Your knees should be straight as well as your back. Stand with your hands positioned on the back of a chair or on a countertop for balance. Slowly rise off of your feel onto your toes. You will feel a stretch in the back of your lower leg. Hold this position for a few seconds. Relax and repeat. Complete three sets of 10 repetitions.
